I started another thread ago about titanium earrings, and some people sent me links to findings on various sites, and I´m wondering how I´m supposed to attach the pearls to them? Glue? Doesn´t that hurt the pearls?

Sorry if my questions are silly.

If using enhancers you would need a bail that goes together with the enhancer. Look at Bella Findings and findings and bails in the wished for metal.

As for pearls: if they are half-drilled, normally for use with earrings, there are special findings too, pearl-errings, pearl-studs or pearl-cups with or without pegs.

Firemountain, Bella Findings and Artbeads are some of the vendors online, where you could find tem. If you use a stud, the pearl is glued on the pin within the bowl of the stud. Don´t forget to order friction nuts or something like it to, when using studs. You need very little glue (Vigor Super Glue) so the pearl should be OK.
